Date - July 24th, 2011
Time - All day (I'll try to log into the Forest around 7:00 AM CST, and will most likely log out around 8:00-10:00 PM CST)
Place - Run's memorial near the Ruins (see below for a few screenshots of where to sit) We prefer you sit around the light, and please do not stand/dance in the center.
No dress code, wear whatever you have on at the time.
Here is where we will be sitting at:
Look for Quad, and please feel free to sit with him as long as you'd like. Please keep in mind that I will not be at my laptop the entire time, but just being there with Quad if only for a little while is all you need to do.
If you guys don't mind, please take screenshots for me. And if you can't make it, please don't feel bad, I understand completely.
-----------------------
It's amazing that it's been a year since Dad passed away from rectal and liver cancer. I can still remember last year very vividly, and since then, we've gotten to our 'new normal' as they say. There are still things that feel awkward, still things that remind us of Dad, still things we cry over from time to time. But it's over and we know he's at peace. Just knowing Dad isn't suffering the way he was is enough for us.
I wanted to thank you all for your support last year. I don't know where I would be - physically, emotionally, and mentally - without this community's love.
My brother made this video and posted it on Facebook this morning. I'm going to post it here but if for any reason he or my Mom don't want me to share it, I will remove it. I just thought it would be something you guys would like to see, and my brother makes wonderful videos.
Edit and screenshot blogs others have posted for this event:
Thank you all for the interest! I'll log Quad in a little after 7:00 AM CST tomorrow morning. And as I said, stay for as little or as long as you'd like. Even if it's a minute or two, that's more than enough for me.
Also I need to mention something to those of you who don't know -
This spot is dedicated to a TEF member who died a few years ago. Her name was Run, and M&A dedicated this spot to her as her memorial. We prefer you sit around the light, and please do not stand in the center and/or dance. It's considered disrespectful to those who knew Run.
Sorry, I don't mean to be rude here, we just prefer you don't do it.
That said....Even if it's frustrating, please don't be a jerk about it. That, too, seems disrespectful to me. Ask politely, and assume ignorance before disrespect. I mean, maybe they just think we all need cheering up.
I understand not everyone knows about the memorial, I was just trying to ask the deer to move to the side. I wasn't trying to act aggressive and if I came off that way, I'm sorry.
If it happens again I'm not going to say anything.
I wasn't reffering to you. I just meant in general: at least one person was still being agressive with the deer after they had moved, and that's not cool. I understand that it's frustrating, but there's 'politely trying to see that you want them to move' and then there's getting agressive with it.
Quad, I think Seed was directing her words to everyone participating in this event, just to let everyone know that they shouldn't lash out at anyone that gets in the center. She wasn't aiming at you in particular.

My brother made a video for Dad, so it's up at the top of this blog. It may or may not stay depending on if he or my mom objects to me putting it up here.
It's okay, don't worry about it. I said something about it late anyway. It's really not that big of a deal (to me at least, I don't know about anyone who remembers Run).
No worries today, okay? Just being here...all of you just being here is incredible.
la;sdlfkja;ldsfja;ldskfjas;df Anjali!! Those images are beautiful, the one through the ruins especially!! Thank you!
I brought Quintel there to sit for a little while. Since it's a bit of a personal event, I brought her there, since she's pretty much my OOC deer. It's the closest thing I can do to give you my actual support.
Alright everyone, I need to go AFK for a while. We're leaving the house for a little bit but Quad will still be in the Forest. Please take a screenshot for me while i'm gone if you don't mind.
Thank you all again for coming. And please feel free to stay as little or as long as you'd like. This will be going on for several more hours so there's plenty of time to stop by.
